    Girl Not Laying

    Hm that is a tough one. So you make your own feed? I am not a professional - but I’ve read a few cases like this, and some people have tried a normal store bought chicken feed and found results. The feed sold in stores has the perfect amount of nutrition and minerals and protein ratios that at...

    After treating chickens for mites do I need to have an egg withdrawl period?

    I treated my flock for mites with permethrin ten spray two days ago, can we continue to eat the eggs as normal or not? I usually sell them but I don’t want to until I know it’s safe.

    Five week old chick with twisted leg

    @Eggcessive if it were your bird would you let it grow up? It gets around alright and gets up and down the ramp morning and night… I just don’t want to to suffer. I mean it pushes through the rest of them to eat and drink still but 🤷‍♀️ my flock is honestly a bunch of misfits, and we just have...

    Five week old chick with twisted leg

    No idea what breed I was thinking maybe light brahma. I think there's already 2 other cockerels in the batch, but I wasn’t sure on the Brahmas. Ok perfect thanks.

    Five week old chick with twisted leg

    Hey everyone, I inherited some chicks from a school that hatched them a few weeks ago, and I can’t remember exactly when I noticed it but it was like suddenly one day it’s leg was twisted. Maybe it just hid it, but it had been in a crate for a brooder and I had watched them closely for a long...

    Chicken with bumble- should I give clavamox?

    I’ve dealt with bumblefoot many times before but we are back with another case. This hen had a pus pocket on the top of her foot, it squeezed out like a pimple and I cleaned and wrapped it and after a few times of that it looked pretty much good (it was flat and no longer had an infected look...
